System and Method for Implementing a Supplier Dashboard

1. A system that implements an interactive supplier dashboard, the system comprising: a memory that stores and manages supplier profile data and historical data; an interactive user interface; and a supplier processor, coupled to the memory and the interactive user interface, programmed to: receive, via the interactive user interface, a supplier identifier associated with a supplier; identify one or more sources of supplier data using the supplier identifier; retrieve data from the one or more sources of supplier data identified using the supplier identifier; update historical data based on the data retrieved from the one or more sources of supplier data aggregate data from the one or more sources of supplier data; pre-stage the aggregated data for the interactive supplier dashboard, wherein pre-staging the aggregated data comprises processing the aggregated data to prepare that data for display and user interaction; apply one or more predictive analytics models to the pre-staged aggregated data, based on the historical data in the memory; create one or more recommendations, based on the results of the one or more predictive analytics models, wherein the recommendations address risk exposure, supplier performance, and cost savings; communicate, via the interactive supplier dashboard, the pre-staged aggregated data for the supplier and the one or more recommendations; wherein the interactive supplier dashboard comprises a plurality of segments of a circular graphical interface; and provide, via the interactive user interface, one or more links to one or more additional interactive interfaces configured to create reports and provide additional supplier information; and wherein the plurality of segments comprise (1) spend segment; (2) sourcing and procurement segment; (3) risk and control segment; (4) performance and health segment; (5) hosted applications segment; (6) channel compliance segment, wherein the channel compliance segment includes details concerning billing channels; (7) relationship management segment, wherein the relationship management segment includes information about negative supplier news, diversity data, contractor status, request for information data, request for proposal data, and an indication of supplier status comprising one of active, inactive, and prospective; and (8) third party oversight segment.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the supplier identifier identifies one or more associated suppliers.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the spend segment provides a total spend associated with the supplier for a predetermined time period.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein sourcing and procurement segment provides project pipeline and executed contracts data specific to the supplier.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the risk and control segment provides data relating to action plans, risk accepts, risk assignments past due specific to the supplier.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the performance and health segment provides an overall health score for the supplier.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hosted applications segment provides details concerning pending applications and corresponding status specific to the supplier.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the channel compliance segment provides details concerning billing channels specific to the supplier.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the relationship management segment provides details concerning the supplier's relationship with an entity.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the third party oversight segment provides details concerning third party engagements, and associated risks with such engagements.

11. A method of implementing an interactive supplier dashboard, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, via an interactive user interface, a supplier identifier associated with a supplier; identifying one or more sources of supplier data using the supplier identifier; retrieving data from the one or more sources of supplier data identified using the supplier identifier; analyzing the data from the one or more sources of supplier data, the analysis including predictive analytics based in part on a set of historical data; updating the set of historical data based on the data retrieved from the one or more sources of supplier data aggregating data from the one or more sources of supplier data; pre-staging the aggregated data for the interactive supplier dashboard, wherein pre-staging the aggregated data comprises processing the aggregated data to prepare that data for display and user interaction; applying one or more predictive analytics models to the pre-staged aggregated data, based on the historical data in the memory; creating one or more recommendations, based on the results of the one or more predictive analytics models, wherein the recommendations address risk exposure, supplier performance, and cost savings; communicating, via the interactive supplier dashboard, the pre-staged aggregated data for the supplier and the one or more recommendations; wherein the interactive supplier dashboard comprises a plurality of segments of a circular graphical interface; and providing, via the interactive user interface, one or more links to one or more additional interactive interfaces configured to create reports and provide additional supplier information; and wherein the plurality of segments comprise (1) spend segment; (2) sourcing and procurement segment; (3) risk and control segment; (4) performance and health segment; (5) hosted applications segment; (6) channel compliance segment, wherein the channel compliance segment includes details concerning billing channels; (7) relationship management segment, wherein the relationship management segment includes information about negative supplier news, diversity data, contractor status, request for information data, request for proposal data, and an indication of supplier status comprising one of active, inactive, and prospective; and (8) third party oversight segment.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the supplier identifier identifies one or more associated suppliers.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the spend segment provides a total spend associated with the supplier for a predetermined time period.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein sourcing and procurement segment provides project pipeline and executed contracts data specific to the supplier.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the risk and control segment provides data relating to action plans, risk accepts, risk assignments past due specific to the supplier.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the performance and health segment provides an overall health score for the supplier.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the hosted applications segment provides details concerning pending applications and corresponding status specific to the supplier.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the channel compliance segment provides details concerning billing channels specific to the supplier.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the relationship management segment provides details concerning the supplier's relationship with an entity.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the third party oversight segment provides details concerning third party engagements, and associated risks with such engagements.
